Jessica Marie Alba (Warren)

Her's one of my favorite Fantastic Femmes...Jessica Marie Alba!
As an action performer, she's competent. Has done stunts whenever feasible.
As an actress, she's vastly improved from her days on The Secret Life of Alex Mack.
Enjoys doing physical comedy (even when the script is truly awful as in Good Luck Chuck)!

Even with her in it, it's unwatchable!

Her Business: The Honest Company

Before Agent Carter there was...Senorita Rio!

"Señorita Rio" was the code-name given to popular Hispanic-American film actress Rita Farrar (real name: Consuela Maria Ascencion De Las Vegas), as she spied on against Axis agents in Central and South American countries during World War II.

She was proficient with weapons, and could handle herself in perilous situations, requiring rescue by male associates far less frequently than most heroines of the Golden Age of Comics.

Based on real-life actress and World War II pin-up queen Rita Hayworth, whom most people don't realize was Hispanic/Irish-American (Her real name was Margarita Carmen Cansino), Señorita Rio started as a backup feature in Fight Comics #19 in 1942, and took over the cover slot as of #37 for a year.
After that, she remained as a backup, at least, until #71 came out in 1951, as the series ended with her retiring from espionage and returned full-time to her acting career.

The first few Señorita Rio stories, including this premiere tale, were illustrated by noted Golden and Silver Age artist Nick Cardy (using his full name Nick Viscardi), but the bulk of her tales were rendered by one of the few female comic book artists of the era, Lily Renee, who did spectacular work in every comics genre: sci-fi, adventure, superhero, war, western, horror, and romance!

Atomic Kommie Comics™ has lured Señorita Rio out of retirement, as beautiful and deadly as ever, on two of her best covers, in our Heroines™ line of cool comics-based collectibles including tops, bottoms, t-shirts, mugs, and other goodies!
(She's also one of the dozen dynamic dames on our Heroines™ 2015 12-Month Calendar!)

If you're a gal who wants to show off a classic example of Hispanic female empowerment, a guy who's confident enough in his masculinity to display a strong (and voluptuous) woman, or someone who wants a spectacular Cinco de Mayo gift for a pop-culture-oriented loved one, head over to see Señorita Rio!
Just make sure to tell her you're on the Allied side. She can be a bit trigger-happy!

PussyCat: Agent of S.C.O.R.E. "Mirthful Misadventures of a Naughty Nonsensical Nymphet!"

If Austin Powers had a sister in the Swingin' 60s, she would have been...

...our favorite, funtastic, femme Agent of S.C.O.R.E.!

 

This tale originally appeared in Stag Annual #3 (1966), but this is from the one-shot PussyCat (1968) that reprinted her stories from various "laddy" magazines published by Martin Goodman, who also owned Marvel Comics.

The writer and artist are officially-unknown, but the scripter is probably Stan Lee or Larry Lieber, and the artist(s) probably include Stan Goldberg, Al Hartley, and Bill Ward.

CAVE GIRL in "Man Who Served Death"

Note: racial / ethnic stereotypes common to the 1950s in this story.
May be NSFW.

Another exciting adventure featuring Gardner Fox and Bob Powell's leopard-skin-clad adventuress, this time from Thun'da #3!

You'll note that the original concept of a prehistoric Lost World-type setting had been jettisoned in favor of the more-or-less standard African jungle with evil and/or idiot White hunters creating trouble.
Presumably, this was done to facilitate a potential movie serial deal like the one made for Cave Girl's companion strip Thun'da. which Fox and Powell were also handling since it's creator and original artist, Frank Frazetta, had quit when the series' editorial direction was abruptly changed! (Following standard editorial practice of the period, he had not retained copyright or editorial control of the character.)
The occasional lost ancient city or lone prehistoric beast would still pop up, but the emphasis was on a present-day "darkest Africa" motif which would remain both in her Thun'da backup tales and her own short-lived title.
